This young lady knew that her sheep would be just fine while she went to pick daisies leaving her sheep under the trusted, loyal, care of her Briard. This image took a bit of planning and masking to accomplish this scene. I used the stamp positioner and image sheets to be able to get the images where I wanted them. After stamping the images, I colored them in with my Lyra poly color pencils and blended with baby oil and stumps. The Briard and sheep stamp was loaned to me by one of our Briard breeders and was purchased in either France or Belgium. There is no identifying marks on this stamp Kittie 747 has been an inspiration in this landscape and the use of two stamps from the water color mini stamp set for the grass in the foreground. Her landscapes are always so lovely.

Such a pretty scene you've created, Coleen! Beautiful shading in the grass and sky. Excellent job in the planning and positioning of the images - very much in scale for the distances. Love the blossoms on the trees too. Come on Spring! I hope she doesn't get her dress dirty tending sheep! TFS. Linda
